Hi Walter,
Its probably a typo, but your message indicates that Mathematica is
connecting to lamo both times. What happens if you explicitely start
the remote kernel? In other words, kernel menu -> start kernel -> remote.
Also, check whether or not the remote kernel is actually starting.
After trying to start it with Mathematica, log in to fast and
'ps ax | grep MathKernel' or whatever to see if the process actually
exists. You could also run 'w' to see if the connection was made properly.
I assume you can manually SSH into fast from lamo.
Good luck,
Daniel
